She has worked throughout her career on Renewable & clean Energies: mainly, Hydrogen Electrolyser, fuel cells, Battery, Plastic recycling, Biofuels, H2 storage & transport, solar materials and hydropower for 18+ years of experience including Project conceptualization, implementation and execution, team leading and team management, Project planning, Execution & demonstration, product’s technical & Safety internal audits for various customers, supply chain management and Budget management, Hydrogen and fuel cell Infrastructure planning and development, report generation, capex estimation, Supply chain development, strategy & Roadmap, R&D to pre commercialization of product in new technologies and project portfolio in National & International environment and various sectors, including oil & gas, renewable & clean energy, EPC industry and Indian Ministry. With 18+ years of diverse experience, she is trying to develop a trusted network of contacts across the country and globally to form a supply chain for hydrogen market. Her experience has been in the Engineering/ Manufacturing sector & the areas of new product development and certification, brand creation in new markets, strategic project management & identifying various value chain partners and negotiation, business collaboration via JV and partnerships. She is accomplished with the sound technical and commercial business knowledge of energy sector. She has fair enough practical hands on experience of working on the synthesis of stack component such as electrode and electrolyte materials for FC, ELECTROLYSER, BATTERY,H2-S & SOLAR CELL APPLICATION using different advanced and conventional synthesis technique and stack assembly. Based on her career journey & professional experience she is a key contributor in the development of low-cost, high-energy density electrode materials for fuel cell, solar cell and battery application towards commercialization and IP creation along with the knowledge of other new and alternative energy storage technologies. She is having strong background in working with interdisciplinary cross-functional teams in hydrogen mobility industry. She has led a complete team and project for the setup of hydrogen pilot plants and low-cost country sourcing (LCCS) platforms for green hydrogen and mobility solutions across India and Asia in her last experience. In her pas career journey she has led and demonstrated India’s first hydrogen fuel cell e bus and first hydrogen generation and storage plant for OIL INDIA Project. She is actively engaged with regulatory board for the formulation of H2-electrolyser, FC and E-vehicles hydrogen standards with Indian national standards committee (BIS, ARAI, AIS) in collaboration with Transport ministry of India, ensuring that private sector solutions meet and influence evolving regulatory frameworks. In her past experience she has carried out research independently in collaborations with some best Indian research institutes such as CSIR-NCL– Pune, BARC, Mumbai, and CSIR-IICT, Hyderabad, in the field of energy. She has done her post-doctoral from NUM Malaysia, NUS Singapore and CISR-NCL and SPPU, pune, India. During her post-doctoral tenure she has co- supervised and mentored master and Ph.D. students at national as well as international level (11 students till date. She actively deliver her invited talk, keynotes at various national/international conferences/forums on clean energy technology. She has involved at various industry in her career journey for developing new product for Hydrogen mobility application by collaborating with national and overseas business partners through her proven skills to build highly effective internal partnerships and form dynamic technology-driven relationships with leading academic institutes and industries which supports the ability to develop close alignments between R&D initiatives and business goals. She is also a renowned reviewer for several international peer reviewed journals. She is currently spearheading major initiatives, including India’s first hydrogen train project, H2-ICE and H2-fuel cell trucks/buses OEM projects for full filling the requirement of customers on time. Also she is leading for our upcoming Electrolyser –Hydrogen production Pilot plant projects by contributing her knowledge for techno-commercial advisory to OEMs, EPCs, R&D project for technology prototyping to infrastructure planning, supply chain development, and market deployment.
